A farewell surprise party was given
to the Misses Estelle and Grace Hollo-

evening last, by their school-mates and

ease right at once this is too often not
the case in the other sort This was u
surprise all around, as those who had but
few hours to make ready could testify.
Circumstances compelled them to select
a much earlier evening than was at first

SUCCESSFUL OPERATION.

DIR. Haines of Rising Sun has effected
a remarkable cure in the case ofThomas
Culinary who was suffering from viru-
lent and dangerous cancer on his tongue.
The disease had grown very rapidly dur
ing the last month and when it develop
cd into cancer immediate relief was
sought and several physicians in Phila-
delphia and Newark were consulted.
They said nothing could be done to eff
feet cure except that the tongue be cut
out entirely. Fortunately this was not
submitted to by the patient and new
treatment was tried as last resort. 1t
consisted in the frequent use of a secret
preparation, intensely poisonous in it's
nature, upon the tongue. This acid very
quickly killed the growth, and in day
or two the cancer intact was removed
from the tongue, and is now preserved in
alcohol. 1t entirely eradicated the theo-
ry that cancer can not be removed ex
cept by the use Of the surgeons knife
and this miraculous cure will certainly
create much interest and attention in the
profession. The patient is now rapidly
recovering from disease every one
feared would end fatally.

Death Of Mrs. Alexander.

The following sketch of Mrs. Susan NJ.
Alexander, who died at Piqua, Ohio, and
was buried there on March 4th, will be
read with interest by many of the de-
ceased's friends in this vicinity.
Mrs. Susan NJ. Alexander was born in
New Castle, Delaware, Jan. 10, 1910. She
was united in marriage to Adam Alexan-
der, Feb. 10, 1880. In 1882 the family
came to Dayton, o., from where in 1889
they came to Piqua. On the 18th of
June, 1869, Mr.. Alexander died. In the
same year the subject of this sketch re-
moved with her family to the West, but
in March, 1882, returned to Piqua. The
deceased was the mother Of eight chill
dren, five sons and three daughters The
three daughters all passed to the better
land before their mother. Two Of her
sons lost their lives in defense of their
nations integrity during the late war.
In honor of these patriots the Grand
Army Post of our city takes its name.
OF the three brothers, still living, two
are located in the West, and one, Mr.. A.
W. Alexander, is leading merchant and
honored citizen of Piqua.
Mrs. Alexander and her husband were
confirmed in st. james Church, Piqua,
Ohio, April rs, 1915. Together they lived
II life of earnest piety until the husband
was called to his reward. In her be-
ieavement the widow emulated the vir-
tue of her departed companion. To the
dnv of her death she was known as an
exemplary servant of Christ. She will
be long remembered by all who knew
her for her earnest, patient, Cheerful
performance of all duties devolving up
On her. FAN exceedingly kind 6ispo-
sition her motto was: Good to all
harm to none. "-Pqud (OhiO) Daily Call

The Sabbath School of tine N. f..
Church here, held their annual mission
airy anniversary on Thursday night last
The exercises by the school proved very
interesting indeed. Eddie Woodrow, de-
lived the opening address in poety, and
Albert Leg, delived the closing address
in prose- Willie Woodrow also did Il
recitation very nicely. These addresses
were composed by members of the school.
The singing by the infant school delight
ed all. Revs. j. F. Williamson and Geo.
]. Porter made very appropriate remarks
for the occasion. 500 for the missionary
fund by the school this year with the
offerings from the Newark and Wesley
Churches will, in all probability come up
to the apportionment for missions by
the Conference, $l75. Taking into con-
sideration the fact that many of the peo-
pie are out of employment, this report
can be considered very large.

After Lent the spring bonnet, and af-
ter the spring bonnet, financial panic,
among the fathers and husbands of this
lovely land.-Chestertown Transcript.
Evidently the spring bonnet knocks
all the goodness that Lent brings, out in
l round. Spring bonnets come high but
the ladies must have them, because we
all like to see the ladies looking sweet.
This is the story they tell at the ex-
pense of u gentleman who recently NOV
ed to Il farm near town. His help being
away in the evening, it devolved upon
him to feed the live stock. He had seen
the horses given ten ears of corn and a
bunch of fodder each, he gave the horses
that quantity the cows ditto, and the
hogs the same. He thought the hogs
were sick because they would not eat the
fodder.-Milford News.
A farm is certainly dangerous place
for such man. 1t is great wonder
that the cows had not eaten him. This
may be put up job on this man, but if
not, we advise him to carry cane to
keep the cattle from eating him, as they
like green things.
The Every Evening calls the editor of
this paper mule. Well, we never heard
any one deny that the mule was an i'm
provement upon the ass. Our thanks are
hereby extended TO the editor for placing
us little in advance of himself. -Dela-
warean.
Come! Come! You two newspaper chap
pies stop such talk as calling each other
names. The mule and ass are two use
full animals, and neither one of you rep
resent them in any sense.
Several accidents have happened be-
cause of the porches and door steps that
extend out into the pavements, by peo-
pie falling over them during dark nights
this week. A suit for damages is the on
ly way to impress upon the mind of
some people, that the sidewalks are pub
lie property and must not be trespassed
upon.-Milford Chronicle.
What is the matter with the streets in
Milford Even the porches and door
steps extend so far out that people fall
over them. No doubt, after the ladies
are allowed to vote, all this trouble will
be remedied.
1t is said there was "scatteration"
among the travelling taverns" on Satur-
day night, A report got out that the
Sheriff was on the warpath. They all
succeeded in keeping out of the way. 1t
is asserted that there are eight or ten
men here selling whiskey from bottles in
allies and out-of-the-way places.
Appeal.
You don't say Patience, we thought
the law now in force had such terrors for
travelling taverns" that "drap O. some
thing to drink" could not be gotten for
love nor money. Can it be possible that
there are men making living selling
rum, and making criminals ofthemselves?
Ifsuch is the case, it would have been
better to have had the law otherwise.
The Delaware panther has concluded
to go. The poet-fend has been doing
it up in verse in Delaware paper.-Ce-
Gil County News.
How do you know the panther "has
concluded to go?" Not many people
have had the pleasure ofinterviewing the
panther, and finding out he was going to
90.
